Tim's Weather World: "Peephole" Drivers Beware!

| | Comments (0)

You know who you are.   You are in a hurry but your windshield is covered in frost, ice, snow or a combination of all three.  Instead of taking the time to scrape your windshield clear, you scrape off a 3 inch by 5 inch peephole (or smaller) so you can peer out of your vehicle as you head off into traffic putting yourself and others at risk.  Police will be clamping down on "peephole" drivers this fall and winter according to this recent article from USA Today.

  SnowScraperIce_Sm.jpgPeople in Denver will be scraping tonight and tomorrow as they brace for a major storm that could bring up to nearly two feet of snow in some of the higher elevations.   That storm will bring us wet and windy weather for Friday.  Scraping snow could be in our near future, at least according to Chicago climatology.   The average date of the first measurable snow (at least .1") is November 16th
